[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9"]
Niggas supposed to wanna murder me
They say "The boy too dope
Royce is real" that's not a [?] quoteThey saying death's around the corner
I can snipe from where I'm standing like your rifle got a horseshoe scope
We could've caught you in that escalade
Since all you're doing is barber shop talk
And we're not catching, we're just gonna catch the fade
Plus I'm a boss, I ain't the one who gon' blastAny beef I ever had is either squashed or under some grassYeah, it's levels to this shit
I survived stones being thrown, you're throwing pebbles in the pit
I survived [?]
Money on my head and I'd be dead, if I didn't win

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
I'm hearing niggas wanna kill me
Easier said than done
Never run, now I won't be disappearing, nopeDeath's around the corner
Roll out the red carpet for us
Truthfully I expected the nigga years ago
Worked my whole life, now my son is [?]
Got hammers you never bust, now your guns is [?]
If I told dudes my dreams they would want me awake
And you mention beef to me now that my son is at stake
Nuttin' to lose is becoming the [?] who y'all admiring?Y'all respect the shooter, I respect whoever hired him
[?] the whole car, [?] if niggas wanna ride with him
So if you [?] them all, [?] be ready to fire 'em

[Hook]
